This website is the result of my passion for cue sports, and the research I did to find different kind of games and rules. For over a year, I was looking through all the web for new and interesting games related to Billiard and Pool. I used translation tools to search with foreign words and names and get other games as well. Besides looking through all the different forums and websites, one of my biggest inspirations was the book "Over 300 Ways to play Billiards". I do not own a copy myself, but when I found out there are so many different games out there, I got more and more interested and startet collecting rules for games. This is what my extensive research finally ended up in!

Under Games you will find a list of all the rules I collected so far. As I am not sure, which rules are still under some copyrights or trademarks, I excluded everything which might infringe them. So even though I might have such rules myself, I am afraid I can not publish them publicy to avoid legal problems myself. I hope it is at least okay, to show how the table is set up, to give my visitors an idea of how the game might look like.
For some games I included images of special ball sets. I tried to make pictures myself, wherever possible. Otherwise I used stock images from the web, where I hope it is ok to reuse them as well.
As the list contains so many games, I tried to order and group them semantically a bit. I hope my decisions of where to put games, make some sense. But in the end I rather split some of the groups, than having too many games in one folder.

If something might have slipped my attention, or needs to be changed, or I have no rights to use it, please feel free to get in touch with me via rules@billiardsgameslibrary.com

As my time is limited, and researching took a big amount of it as well, this website might not be the fanciest of them all. Considering how long it took, to implement all the rules as well for all of the game, I just did not want to use more of my freely available time resources as well, to style this more properly. It does what it needs to do, and I hope it will help a lot of people nonetheless. If anyone might volunteer as well, or maybe provide some nicer graphics, or whatever else ... please feel free to get in touch with me as well. Any help will be very much appreciated. As I do not get any money or anything else for maintaining this website, there is just so much effort I can put in myself. And in the end, I want to play these games myself, so I rather spent some time on my table as well 😉

Enjoy your visit here, and looking through all the games I found so far!
